Go into any furniture store and really take a look at what is out there. It’s all pretty much simple compared to furniture made years ago. Today we all reach for simple lines that are clean and free from fuss. I love the hunt for the piece of furniture that is different. That piece that has that something special with character. When I arrive at an estate sale I get this rush and a flutter in my stomach. Greg and...

Recently I got my hands on a piece of furniture that was amazing. One of my gym gals sent me a picture with a text that said “On my street”. I raced over and there it was in all it’s glory of baby butt pink. As I got closer I realized it had great bones, beautiful hardware and needed NO repairs. What more could I ask for, Right. Well that pink turned out to be one big challenge. No matter...

We all have that piece of furniture that just doesn’t fit anymore. It’s a style that you no longer want in your home. That is exactly what Maria told me about this modern table. She almost got rid of it. It was made up of modern lines and color. It was about as far away from farmhouse style as you could get. She trusted me when I said I could make it fit into her farmhouse style. I’m glad she...

It’s no secret I make table sets from bits and pieces I collect. A chair or two here, a bench base over there and oh there’s a great set of chairs to add to the other set. It all works with new paint in a beautiful color. I posted yesterday I was struggling with a table set the past few weeks. I just couldn’t wrap my head around what to put together to finish it out. Well I’ve come to...

Do you ever sit and day-dream? I still do to this day. When I was a little girl I remember getting in trouble for dreaming and not paying attention in class. It was so bad the teacher talked to my dad about it. I couldn’t help myself, always dreaming about what I wanted in life. Dreams about how to make my dreams come true and dreams about life after childhood. Some were so far-fetched and some pretty simple. All of...
